HMC413QS16GETR

Overview

The HMC413QS16GETR is a high-efficiency GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) power amplifier. It operates within a frequency range of 1.6 GHz to 2.2 GHz, providing a typical gain of 23 dB. The device requires a supply current of 270 mA and exhibits a noise figure characteristic of its class. Packaged in a surface-mount 16-QSOP-EP format with an exposed pad for thermal management, it is designed for robust RF performance in wireless communication systems.

Feature Summary

• High efficiency GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC technology
• Optimized for cellular RF applications
• Surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad

Applications

• Cellular infrastructure amplification
• Wireless communication system front-ends
• RF signal boosting in base stations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status through official Analog Devices documentation prior to integration. Ensure thermal design accounts for the exposed pad requirement in the QSOP-16 package to maintain reliability under operating conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring stable gain between 1.6 GHz and 2.2 GHz. Consider the 270 mA supply current for power budget calculations. The exposed pad design necessitates appropriate PCB thermal vias for heat dissipation. Verify compatibility with existing board layouts due to the 16-QSOP footprint dimensions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC413 series from Analog Devices, which focuses on high-performance RF power amplifiers. The QSOP-16 package variant offers a compact solution for space-constrained designs while maintaining the electrical characteristics of the broader HMC413 family for cellular band operations.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the HMC413 series or other GaAs HBT MMICs from Analog Devices that match the 1.6–2.2 GHz range and 16-pin QSOP package. Ensure pinout compatibility and similar gain specifications before substitution.
